Too good to Be True deal?

[some_pc_flipper]

so i was browsing aliexpress for getting deals, and this seemingly motherboard combo caught my attention, it included a xeon e5 2420(6 cores 12 threads), motherboard, 8gb ddr3 ecc ram, for 55$, kinda sounded too good to be true, atleast compared to the local prices here in my country, i would like to see what you guys think about it, as im ready to buy it, but dont want to pull the trigger before knowing what im buying.

oh also the shipping is free

if it's too good to be true, then it's more than likely fake

yeah i do think it is too good, i think it is better to buy something i know works rather than risking my money

It’s most likely true. It’s a 1356 Xeon from 2012 with a refurbished board. AliExpress is pretty well regulated and this stuff is just old junk. They’ve sold combos like this for a while.

Seems like it could be true but there is always a risk of buying second hand hardware from sites like AliExpress.

The E5 2420 is not a good chip by the way. Sure it's a 6 core, but it only runs at 1.9GHz.
